Working women's centre comes to Alice

The Northern Territory Working Women's Centre is preparing to establish a new office in central Australia.

Additional funding allocated in this year's federal budget is being used to open an office in Alice Springs and to expand services in Darwin.

The centre's Rachael Uebergang says currently the needs of women in Alice Springs are not being met.

"This is a really great opportunity for us to be able to provide a face-to-face service to the women of central Australia, women who are struggling with issues like sexual harassment at work, workplace bullying, termination of employment and issues with their pay and conditions," she said.
